Topic: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? - page 2. (Read 1430 times)

The intention behind gambling most times influences the approach various class of gamblers gamble, the rich who always have fun at the back of their mind gamble very different from the way the poor who has got the intention to make money gambling will gamble. Loosing in gambling if seen as something that was expected than there will be no need to ever think you are surprised at the outcome of any of the game you did gambled on.

Losses and winning are things we see in gambling everyday and it's actually based on your approach and strategy to gambling that you will be able to experience either of these stated but then every gambler who's gambled in awhile must get to experience both of the experiences.

And just as I’ve also said before that I feel at some point that people who claim they gamble for fun are people who are at the losing end and that very story is just a way to cover the pains and bitterness of losing, don’t get me wrong but I don’t agree with the fact that people risk their hard earned money just to have fun which they can also have without getting to risk a single dime.
I’ve also said thy these casinos are there to make profit and in most cases they also make it very obvious and hence I see no reason why people should shy away from making it obvious, they’re gambling to also make profits.

You would definitely find few person's that gamble for fun, most person's gamble for fun and for the cash too, and some only for the money, but either way gamble is gamble, if you wanted to have fun why not book a ticket to watch the match live. IMO I don't think people gamble for fun cause you would definitely feel disappointed if it doesn't work out and once emotions is involved you can't call if fun anymore.

I would only agree if the person is so rich and then is looking for a means to waste money and laugh over it, gambling isn't so fun fare else everyone would be doing it and there is a reason why people don't endulge in it cause of fear losing money.

Many people appear to gamble with the intention of making money, but the reality is that the majority of gamblers lose money over time. So, to save face or prevent feeling awful about their losses, they may claim that they are gambling for enjoyment. However, even if someone claims to be gambling for enjoyment, they are almost certainly expecting to earn money, even if it is not their major motivation. It's almost as if people are deluding themselves into believing they don't care about money, but in reality, they are only attempting to insulate themselves from the emotional and psychological anguish of losing money by claiming they don't care.

Believe it or not, but I agree with what @kenshi222 said, I know many people say gambling for entertainment, fun and so on, it's all a joke, there are no crazy people risking their money just for entertainment and fun, gambling is not a tourist place where they can spend money on food, hotel rentals and so on.

I believe money is gambled to make money, that's what happens in the world of gambling, we all expect money to be wagered on certain types of games just to win and profit, nothing else, losing/losing is their risk, the point is that people gamble only to make a profit from winning.

Any person who plays gambling in the first place should realize that for any entertainment has to pay. Casino is not a charitable organization. Rich gambler is well aware of the risks and therefore relate to losses more calmly. Poor gambler apparently does not want to understand that losing in gambling is a mathematical pattern. Why does this happen? Because in most cases, the poor gambler plays gambling for the sake of winning, the rich rather to have fun.

Many individuals are gambling as they want to make money therefore they won't want to lose or gambling only as they want to have fun and lose money but that doesn't mean there aren't some rich individual that find pleasure in losing money when gambling to get the full effect of the dopamine that comes from the thought of losing your money by risking when gambling. For them losing money is what gives them entertainment and they can afford to pay for the fun.

When gambling, only use money that you can afford to lose so when you lose it you won't be defensive and starts gambling to recover your losses which will make you to over gamble and might end up making you to become an addicted gambler. No individual wants to be a gambling addict, it's from things like over gambling or revenge gambling that makes them to be addictive and hard to stop the habit.

I am sure that the goal of many people who gamble is to make a profit or multiply the money they have. Therefore, it is natural that many gamblers have the motive to recover losses or pursue winnings, because that is the main goal. with them gambling as a motive, of course that is not right, because with motives or thoughts like that it will only make them lose more of the money they have, even when they don't have money they will try to make money in any way they can. generate money and will use it to gamble again with the motive of recovering losses or chasing wins Therefore many people experience big losses because gambling is their wrong motive for gambling, even though there is a chance to get a profitable win at gambling, this does not require them to spend a lot of money on gambling, because even if they win, I am sure they will win. what they get cannot cover all the money they have lost due to gambling, there is a jackpot that can be obtained, but it is not certain that they will be able to get it, because what is clear is that they will lose more often even if they try hard, such as spending a lot of money. This does not rule out the possibility that they will lose from the gambling they do. So no matter how hard you try in gambling, I don't think you can guarantee a definite win.

If their initial motive for gambling is wrong, it is very likely that they will have problems in the future, such as a gambling addiction that will harm them. Where they can gamble by spending a lot of money but they will not care about the money they have lost in gambling because all they think about is winning. It's true what you said, this might be a dangerous cycle where they can spend money without the slightest hesitation. Once they are trapped in this cycle, of course they will encounter various problems, the main one being money, their finances will become a mess, and other problems, perhaps in terms of health, and relationships between friends or family and even partners. And if you are trapped in this cycle, of course it is not an easy task to get out of this cycle. Of course, to get out of this cycle, I think most people fail to get out, although there are some who are in the process of getting out, but in cases where they return to gambling and went back to gambling crazily Therefore, when you first start gambling, your motives and objectives must be specific, even though there is a chance to win, it is not recommended to gamble with the motive of making a profit because it can trap you. Don't let our own thoughts lead us into a detrimental cycle, especially in the long term.

People has their own meaning of fun when gambling. For some, gambling can be fun and exciting to potentially make money, and for others, they see it as a form of entertainment. It depends on the views of people on how they see 'fun' in gambling. And if you are a person who sees gambling as a way of making money, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means. Gamble with only what you can afford to lose and always be aware of the potential risks and rewards.

Well for me I will say nobody gets involved in gambling without having profits maximization as their aim and goal,  gambling is for profits not for fun,  it only becomes fun when you are gaining much more than you are lossing, similar thread has been created saying that some people gamble  for fun not profits which is not true, because there is no way gambling can be a fun when you are loosing funds which creates devastation in the mind of any gambler, lossing in gambling most incure pains irrespective of how you get your funds.

I think this whole thing highlights one of the biggest problems with gambling, which is the cycle of chasing losses. Even when a gambler experiences more losses than wins, you still find them pressing harder and harder, and the more they go, the higher they stake and the more they lose, this has proven the most dangerous cycle in gambling and many gamblers fall into this ditch without even knowing it, they continue to gamble, with the hopes of eventually hitting that big win and recovering those lost fund without knowing that this cycle can very hard to break because it leads to even more loss, only a few people have been able to do it.

We all bet with a wish to make a profit, but only a few know that making that profit in gambling is hard. So when we make a deposit we wish to have some fun while we play our favorite games, but we never know whether we will make a profit or lose everything... we play for fun & excitement, and if we make a profit it's great, but if we lose it's not the end of the world we know we will try again another day.

People who gamble solely to make a profit often lose, it's because they push and they think it's their turn to be on the winning side. It's not so bad as long as they play with the money they can afford to lose, but when someone goes too deep and starts chasing losses just to recover and return debts it turns ugly in most cases. 

Maybe I would have to ask you if you have ever gambled before or if you have ever taken a big risk in gambling and you were very surprised to make huge profits from such games. If not, you will not ask us whether people truly make profits by taking risk to win gamble. Everything we do requires risks and the only thing and ways we could help ourselves is to make sure that we take a necessary risk nit anyhow risk that could make us lose big amount of money in the market. We need to observe things and weigh it before we decide to take risk because there are some risks that do not worth it and it's after we are in that we would know that we have already fucked up.

We are all gambling to make money and I am not ashamed to say it, as I see that so many people are not bold enough to say it out loud, well here you have it, I gamble to get lucky and make money, that's why we are all here, but the only difference between I and others is that I don't have high expectations from gambling like they always do.

Just because I am gambling to make money doesn't mean I must gamble all the time or risk a lot of money on gambling, understanding matters here, I know how unsafe it is to be too involved in gambling, you can leave the important things behind and go for gambling, only to end up regretting later.

I do gamble to make money, but I do it when I have the amount that I won't be needing for now, the amount that I am ready to lose away in gambling, and most times I keep on learning new things, skills based, that will help me to make better money in future, I don't believe in gambling that much.

You’re right and it’s always funny how people find it difficult to accept they’re gambling to make money forgetting that these gambling companies are solely in there to make money and always proud to state it .
The major reason a gambler should gamble is to make money and let the fun come from the winning rather than claiming to have fun while finding it difficult to make a win from it.
Currently, anything anyone is doing that isn’t fetching them money while others are making money from it is actually a waste of time and gambling for fun while others are making money off it is a waste of time as well.

Gambling is a high risk game, and as we know, the higher the risk, the higher the profit can be. Of course, most gamblers gamble because of the possibility of winning, some of them do not even realize that they play because they need emotions and of course there are gamblers who get an emotional explosion during the loss / win. You will not get such emotions in a movie theater, on the beach, in a restaurant, strip bar. Of course there are entertainments that can cause a similar emotional explosion - skydiving, bicycle trails, but these entertainments also cost quite expensive and are not available for everyone. In addition, they can lead not only to injuries, but also to death.

Your response resonates deeply with the way I think about these things too. The realistic part of it is everybody on the surface of the earth takes risks, whether business people, or even people that are not in the business arena. You take one or two risks because there are decisions that you make that has to be money-driven, and you can't make them without taking the risk of bringing out the money to solve those problems.

And the examples to these things can be enormous. An example could be that people purchase lands to or even order for things that at the end of the day they are not able to use them and they can't return it. It's a form of risk taking too and that does not have anything to do with even the business arena or betting. So that's just one example amongst a million.

As for people who take their hard-earned money to bets for fun, I think there are a lot of people that are doing so. But what I believe in my own instance is because those people had already made a lot of money, so losing a little potion of money on those things in turn of fun wouldn't be a bad idea to them. Everybody has a way they derive pleasure or looking for that inner peace and satisfaction from them and some other person's inner peace could be engaging in gambling for fun.

The assertion is wrong, many persons are hiding under the illusion that they are gambling for fun. I think it's just a small fraction of persons that may be gambling for the fun part of it like the wealthy class who have little or nothing to lose. Majority of gamblers are in for the money, they're either playing to make some extra cash or to hit a windfall that will change their lives for good.

It's true. When we forget that we gamble just to add some fun to our games then we might be running toward chaos in our financial status because next to it will be chasing losses which I am 100 percent sure since gambling sites always win through the house edge.
But maybe those who can win one time and will never be back for a long time are possible winners. Well, as long as they can endure to never be back because most winners that I see will test their luck one more time thinking they could possibly do it again and maybe double the profit. That's greed and I bet it will end up not good also.
All gamblers do like to win but most of the time we are sucked into trying to win back what we lost and that's when we are forced to play every day or every week hunting for revenge and trying to win our money back.

I and almost everyone might state otherwise but deep down we all expect that we earn more than we risk. I might not have the company of richest person but I had never met a gambler that's not wanting to earn. And I  don't think that's its wrong to expect a larger return. If you know your limits and stay within a budget, and things goes according to your analysis specially on sports gambling, you could make some money while having some fun. Poker table is also a place where you could expect the skillful to have more chances at winning but that can't be said for random result gambling like dice and roulette.
So, expecting a earning from gambling is not a bad thing, you just should not make it an addiction.
